Baby Russian tortoises not eating

[James Bainbridge]

Hi everyone my Russian tortoises hatched yesterday and they havent started eating, I don't know what to do! Is it normal not to eat for the first couple of days? My male Speedy and my female Flash eat all the time (they are the parents) but I am worried about the hatchlings as they haven't touched their food. The temperature of the enclosure is 82F, should that be warmer if so what temperature? Sorry if I am asking too much it's just that this is my first time with babies and I don't know what to do any help would be great and I would really appreciate it, also there is a hide so they can, well hide haha and I should be getting a UV light today I was expecting them to come next Monday?

Do not worry: torts take long to adapt to a new environment. They will eventually eat.

Please post pics of the torts and enclosures, and a warm welcome to the forum!
